Sunny  Optimism  and  Distin- 
guished Elegance  Economically 
Achieved  hy  Enamel  Decoration 

0/EN  sunless  days  are  genial  with  good  cheer!  No  gloomy 
corners  or  lurking  shadows!  Enamel  decoration  gives  a 
new  sense  of  spaciousness,  a feeling  of  greater  airiness,  an  effect 
of  abiding  optimism  and  bright-sky  cheerfulness. 

Best  of  all,  this  decorative  agent  brings  conspicuous’  individual- 
ity within  the  price  range  of  average  work. 

It  instantly  gives  the  elaborate  residence,  bungalow  or  apartment 
artistic  individuality  — makes  them  emphatically  and  whole- 
somely different.  Even  the  smallest,  most  simple  interior 
enamel-decorated  achieves  a place  in  the  class  of  genuinely 
artistic  interiors — of  pleasing  personality  and  individuality. 

Suitability  — the  keynote  of  artistic  decoration  finds  its  truest 
expression  in  enamel  decoration  — for  the  ballroom  or  drawing 
room,  the  living  room  and  sleeping  room  — and  also  for  the 
bath  and  kitchen  where  cleanliness  and  durability  are  demanded 
to  the  utmost. 

But  the  beauty,  elegance,  optimism,  economy  and  enduring 
satisfaction  of  enamel  decoration  demands  perfection  in  the 
mirror-smooth,  unblemished  enamel  surface.  Anything  less  than 
perfection  is  failure.

This  means  the  strict  use  of  highest  grade  enamel  — Pitcairn 
Banzai  Enamel. 

This  enamel  “flows  like  carriage  varnish.”  It  shows  no  laps  or 
brush  marks  — which  means  that  the  decorator  will  easily 
achieve  the  immaculate  surface  which  is  the  beauty  of  enamel 
decoration.  This  distinctive  flowing  quality  is  your  safety  factor 
against  any  compromise  of  unblemished  perfection. 

Pitcairn  Banzai  Enamel  is  so  elastic  that  you  may  dent  the 
finished  wood  with  a hammer  without  fracturing  the  enamel. 
You  may  freeze  an  enameled  wood  panel  in  a solid  cake  of  ice 
and  melt  it  out  again  without  harming  the  enamel. 

1 his  remarkable  elasticity  means  an  incalculable  durability  in 
the  decoration  of  an  interior,  no  matter  in  what  climate  or  what 
the  heating  system. 

This  durability  extends  the  economical  use  of  Banzai  Enamel 
to  commercial  interiors,  such  as  bakeries,  markets,  ice  cream 
factories,  florists,  retail  stores,  etc.,  including  the  cabins  of  yachts, 
and  also  yacht  freeboards  where  it  is  subjected  to  the  wash  of 
the  waves.  Such  extreme  durability  encourages  its  use  for 
porches  and  entrances  of  residences. 

Pitcairn  Banzai  Enamel  may  be  tinted  as  desired  — may  be 
used  on  wood,  stone,  plaster,  cement  and  metal  interior  or  exterior. 

Not  only  is  it  the  most  immaculate  of  enamels,  but  because  of 
durability,  spreading  quality  and  its  easy  working  quality,  it  is 
the  most  economical  of  enamels  in  square-yard  cost.
